Midterms Week As Explained By 'The Office'
The Office

Tis' the season. Spring break is just around the corner and the last thing anyone wants to do is work. When the week of spring break approaches us, students like to pretend it is already here and give up on any responsibilities. Midterms, a word I must not say too loud on school grounds is approaching. Midterm Week can be described in many ways, stressful being the top definition. I believe the cast of The Office would agree with me, In fact, they are the perfect people to explain how Midterm Week is approached.


1. When you hear the word "midterms" you shutter


The word is almost as bad as "finals". Between the studying, the lack of sleep and the annoying fact that spring break is so close - you are stuck hanging by a thread.


2. There is always that one teacher


Regardless of how much you study, you never make an amazing grade. I'm talking missed dinners, no sleep, hundreds of flashcards and you still just skate by. If that teacher happens to read this article, the image below is how you make me feel.


3. Everything makes you mad, no matter what it is

If you don't hate everyone during midterms, then pat yourself on the back because you're a superhero. No, I am not a mean and unfriendly person. I am a sleep deprived stressed student.


4. Nothing about Midterm Week is enjoyable

Sometimes sitting in your room crying and eating ice-cream is okay. Just remember, regardless of your grade ice cream is only a grocery store away.


5. After studying in between each class and through the night, you are somehow still not fully prepared

About ten minutes into the test and this is your reaction on the inside:


6. At some point, you give up and dream about spring break


Admit it, there is a point where you say to yourself, "Oh well, it's almost spring break," which then becomes your excuse for everything.


7. Your reaction after turning in your last midterm


That moment is almost as amazing as Christmas day. Hell week is finally over!!


Midterm Week is not only filled with exams. Professors are able to assign more homework, essays and power points than ever before mentioned on the syllabus. Regardless of midterms, spring break is the reward for those countless hours in the library, and I think I'm going to take it.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
